Hi Jay, Yes, the birth places are from English census returns. They are well worth looking at as they can give you a lot of information. By the way, "Sidcaret" is how Ancestry transcribed "Sidewick", which in itself is presumably a misspelling of Sedgwick. I am not at all a PETRIE descendant (although I feel a certain affinity because of the similarity to my first name!). Petra -----Original Message----- From: J.M.

Saturday 01 May 1819 (p. 4, col. 2) WESTMORLAND COUNTY SESSIONS. There was no business of importance at the County Sessions held at Appleby: but the following case, which excited a strong local interest, was tried at the adjournment of the County Sessions, held at Kendal. THE KING v. JOHN WILLIAMS, ESQ.—There were two separate counts in the indictment; the first charged the defendant with irreverently disturbing the congregation assembled for public worship, in the church at Burton-in Kendal, and using improper threats and menaces against Mr. Thos. ATKINSON, one of the churchwardens. The second for an assault upon the said Thomas ATKINSON and others.—Several witnesses for the prosecution were called; but as they all concurred in their statements, without much important variety in the principal facts, we will merely give the substance. Mr. WILLIAMS, the defendant, lives at Burton; and was lately married to a lady of considerable property in that town. Much dispute has for some time prevailed betwixt the defendant and the churchwardens, respecting the right of appropriating a particular pew in Burton church as private property, or having exclusive right to occupy that pew. This claim was made by the defendant upon the ground that the same pew had been occupied for many years by the father and grandfather of his wife. It appeared that on Sunday the 7th of March last, the defendant and his wife, according to their usual practice, took their seats in the said pew: a short time previous to the commencement of divine service, three men (all of whom were in the employ of Mr. ATKINSON), came into the church and made an attempt to enter the pew in which the defendant sat: this was prevented by the defendant, who immediately placed his hand upon the door, brandishing a whip, and threatening that he would horse-whip them or their master (Mr. ATKINSON) if they attempted to enter his pew: the men retired quietly without saying any thing. In giving his evidence, Mr. ATKINSON would not say he had employed his men to go into defendant's seat, but acknowledged that he had told them they had a right to occupy that pew, as well as any other part of the church. At the time this took place Mr. ATKINSON was sitting in the churchwardens' seat, about twelve yards from the defendant: after the men had retired, the defendant turned towards Mr. A., again brandished his whip, and (in a tone of voice loud enough to be heard in every part of the church) said he would horsewhip him also. Mr. A. then left his seat; came quietly down the aisle; folded his arms, and placed them upon defendant's hand, which held the door of the pew to prevent his entrance, and said to the defendant in a low tone of voice, "And are you the person who threatens to horse-whip me?" The defendant again raised the whip, and said, "Yes! and that booby (or some such expression) your namesake—even though he should appear in HEBBLETHWAITE's regimentals." Mrs. WILLIAMS then said he richly deserved a flogging: Mr. A. acknowledged his obligations for her good wishes, and retired to his seat. The defendant, in allusion to the legal measures which he anticipated, said to Mr. A. as he was going down the aisle, "My £100 will go as far in law as yours." The disturbance took place about ten minutes before the commencement of the service—more than 100 persons, including the Sunday scholars, were assembled; and in the opinion of the witnesses, such an effect was produced on the minds of those who had witnessed the transaction, as to incapacitate them for a proper attendance to the solemnities of worship which immediately ensued.—The Hon. Mr. LAMB contended that the disturbance which had taken place in the church, had been occasioned by the churchwarden himself; first, by sending his own men to take unlawful possession of the seat, instead of contesting the right to it in a legal manner; and next by leaving his seat and going to the defendant's pew, folding his arms, as if to tempt him to commit an assault.—W. W. C. WILSON, Esq. then addressed the jury, and laid the facts of the case before them in a most distinct and perspicuous manner. The jury, without retiring, found the defendant guilty of both counts in the indictment. The sentence of the court was, that the defendant should pay a fine of £30 to the King, and be confined in the House of Correction till the penalty should be paid.—The sum was immediately paid. An indictment was also preferred against C. NICHOLSON, another of the churchwardens of Burton, by C. PHILLIPS, servant of the defendant in the above case, for an assault committed in the church. The defendant not having opportunity of giving proper instruction to counsel, entered into recognizances for his appearance to the charge next Sessions.—We understand this case is intimately connected with the circumstances of the above. A bill of indictment preferred by John PETTY, against John WAKEFIELD, Jacob WAKEFIELD, Thos. FELL, James JOHNSON, and others, for a conspiracy, was thrown out by the grand jury,—the circumstances having taken place in the Burgh of Kendal, and therefore not in the immediate jurisdiction of the court. True bills were found against the County for suffering High Borrow Bridge and Bannisdale Head Bridge to remain in such a state as to render them inconvenient and dangerous. J. GREENWOOD was found guilty of petty larceny, and sentenced to two months' imprisonment.

Saturday 01 May 1819 (p. 3, col. 1) EXECUTION. On Saturday last, John TOWNSEND, convicted at the late gaol delivery here of forging a prize ticket, and Christian GALE, found guilty of stealing bills of exchange from a sealed letter in the post-bag which he was entrusted to carry from Cockermouth to Maryport, suffered the sentence of the law upon a temporary drop, erected in the front of the gaol near the Court Houses. Thousands of people from all parts of the country assembled on the occasion, and order was preserved by a strong detachment of Hussars, who formed a line at a proper distance around the place of execution: a number of constables also attended. About half past two, the unhappy men made their appearance and ascended the scaffold with uncommon firmness, TOWNSEND leading the way; they were attended by the Rev. Mr. MARK, chaplain of the gaol, and by the Rev. Messrs. LEE and LEWIS, Methodist preachers, resident in Carlisle. The executioner proceeded immediately to the performance of his office, during which the unfortunate culprits were constant in their prayers for mercy: TOWNSEND was dressed in black, and conducted himself with great propriety: GALE, without displaying so much feeling, seemed, nevertheless, sensible of his awful situation.—The dreadful preparation completed, the executioner ascended the scaffold and shook hands with the sufferers, and they having shaken hands with each other, the bolt was withdrawn, and they were launched into eternity. GALE died almost instantly; TOWNSEND was at first a little convulsed, but his sufferings speedily terminated. After hanging the usual period of an hour, the bodies were cut down and deposited in neat coffins: they lay in the chapel till the next evening, and were then decently interred in St. Cuthbert's church yard, many friends of each attending the funeral. In the interval between GALE and TOWNSEND's condemnation and execution, they were visited in the cell by various persons anxious for their spiritual welfare, including the Rev. J. FAWCETT, the Rev. S. R. HARTLEY, the Rev. Mr. MARK, Mr. LEE Mr. LEWIS, and Mr. HESLOP. TOWNSEND distinctly and repeatedly confessed that he had forfeited his life to the laws of his country, and was extremely penitent to the last. GALE persisted in the same story which he told before and at the time of his trial—namely, that the notes (as he called them) were given to him, wrapped in brown paper, by a man whom he met near Dovenby, and who told him to wait for him at a public house, but he never returned: in this absurd tale he persisted to the last, and was launched into eternity without confessing his guilt. A letter has appeared in the Carlisle Journal, with the name of TOWNSEND attached to it, in which he is made to say: "I have no hidden secrets to suppress whatever; neither do I intend to hold out that I am an innocent man. But what I did was done for the benefit of the party interested, and not, I solemnly declare, from any idea of fraud—never did such a thought enter my mind: had I been clear of this charge I would never have acknowledged the debt, or paid any thing towards it. All I ever received was £18 6s. I paid at different times £5, in part of the £18 6s., and for the remainder £13 6s., not being competent to pay it when asked for, I am to suffer death.—I must in duty to God and the public, declare that part of the evidence against me from Keswick was false, and has since been detected as such. This materially injured me during the trial; however, I freely forgive all my persecutors," &c. The authenticity of this letter is doubtful *—at all events, it is not in unison with his personal declarations made to Mr. LEWIS, Mr. HESLOP, and others, that his life was forfeited to the laws of his country: he also confessed to Mr. HESLOP that he uttered the ticket, knowing it to be forged, but he said he did not commit the forgery himself. The allusion to the evidence from Keswick is this—A person swore on the trial that he saw TOWNSEND write a certain document. It has since been stated, that this person, recollecting himself, now says he did not see TOWNSEND write it, but had it from his own mouth that he wrote it. We can neither confirm nor deny this statement—but we have it on the authority of Mr. LEWIS, that TOWNSEND confessed to him that he did write the document, though the witness from Keswick did not see him do it, as deposed on the the [sic] trial. There are here some painful contradictions: but enough can be gathered to prove, by the unhappy sufferer's own confessions, that the law has not laid hold of an innocent victim. GALE is now thought to have played an artful part from the beginning—and it seems certain that he could both read and write. TOWNSEND one day was employed, in the cell, in copying a kind of memoir of his life, which he designed to send to a friend; and having lost the place, GALE pointed it out to him. He also showed Mr. LEWIS the initials of his name, written on the palm of his left hand, in large and well-formed characters, which he confessed to have made himself. This, we think, is decisive, and completely dispels the idea entertained by many, that he was an idiot. But we have now said enough. Let their frailties rest with Him to whom belong both punishment and forgiveness—may the latter be their portion! TOWNSEND was 43 years of age, and has left behind him a wife and six children, as well as a numerous circle of respectable friends and relations, who are most poignantly afflicted at his deplorable end. One brother is represented to be so strongly affected as to labour under temporary insanity. GALE leaves a wife and three children, who, of course, likewise feel their deprivation most deeply. * It is stated to have been written by a Debtor in the gaol; whose name has been mentioned to us.

The IGI has the baptism on 06 Jul 1818 at Kendal of a Robert PETRIE, son of Robert & Mary. His birth place in 1851 is given as Sidewick, in 1861 as Sedgwick, and in 1871 as Kendale or Kendaw, all in Westmorland. Sedgwick is only about 3 miles south of Kendal, although in Crosscrake parish. There was a marriage on 28 May 1817 in Kendal of Robert PETRIE and Mary ATKINSON, presumably the parents. So if baby Robert was their first child, they may have been living in Sedgwick but Mary went back to her parents in Kendal to have the baby, which may have been the cause of confusion about the birth place.

Saturday 01 May 1819 (p. 3, col. 4) Isabella HALLIDAY, the miserable old woman whose trial, death, and burial, at Dumfries, we announced in our last, was found to be in such a deplorable state of weakness as to render it impossible to remove her from the gaol, even if a different asylum could have been found for her: but this was not the case;-although acquitted by the jury, people everywhere were so strongly impressed with the terrible nature of the crime with which she was charged, that they regarded her presence as a disgrace to any neighbourhood, and no one would have taken her in. She spoke but little from the time of her trial till her death; and although the most respectable clergymen in Dumfries attended upon her last moments, she made no confession. She seemed to feel no satisfaction in devotional exercises-and it is a lamentable circumstance, that (as reported upon her trial) she had not a bible or any other religious book in her hand during the last sixteen years. This, in Scotland, is very extraordinary, where even the poorest are in the constant habit of reading the scriptures. Two men have been committed to Dumfries gaol charged with perpetrating the murder near Moffat, mentioned in our last paper. By the death of Sir John Buchanan RIDDELL, Bart., a vacancy has taken place in the representation of the Lanark District of Burghs. No less than eight gentlemen, it is rumoured, are canvassing the different Boroughs. Mr. OWEN, of Lanark Mills, has declared himself a candidate, and has published an Address to the Electors. Two men have been convicted at the Air Circuit for housebreaking-to suffer on the 28th of May. On the 19th inst. the Hon. William Keppel BARRINGTON, the now high Sheriff of the county of Durham, was sworn into office.

Saturday 01 May 1819 (p. 2, col. 5) Execution at Lancaster. —Henry ENTWISLE, aged 56; John KAY, 55; John CLARKE, 26; John Horseman DRAKE, 32; William SMITH, 17; and Henry MONCRIEFFE, 22, suffered the awful sentence of the law at Lancaster Saturday se'nnight.—ENTWISLE commenced his guilty career at 16 years old with petty offences, till he became a wholesale dealer in forged notes, and employed many others under him to circulate them.—KAY was found guilty of putting into circulation in Manchester forged notes to a very large amount; was a weaver by trade, became a dealer in forged notes twenty years since, then relinquised [sic] the practice, but again returned to it.—John CLARKE and John Horseman DRAKE assumed the characters of horse-dealers, the more readily to deceive the public in paying forged notes of a large amount, such as £20 and £10 in fictitious value.—SMITH, found guilty of robbing R. H. TWIST on the king's highway, was an atrocious character: not contented with robbing this harmless man, he attempted to murder him, by making a deep incision in his throat. Another indictment found against him was for a burglary in the house of Peter BARGETI.—MONCRIEFFE was a wandering beggar, found guilty of committing a rape at Ellell, near Lancaster, on a girl only 10½ years.

Saturday 01 May 1819 (p. 2, col. 3-4) CARLISLE CENTRAL SCHOOL, UNDER THE PATRONAGE OF THE LORD BISHOP OF THE DIOCESE. THE Committee for the Management and Direction of the Central School, beg leave to present to the Public the Annual Report of their proceedings.—One great point at which they aimed is in some degree accomplished. The benefits of a School of this kind have been felt not only within the City of Carlisle, but throughout almost the whole of this Diocese. Schools upon a similar plan have been established at Penrith, Appleby, Brampton, Longtown, Keswick, Stanwix, Burgh, Beaumont, Hayton, Warwick, Cumwhitton, Armathwaite, Houghton, Corby, and other places—in which multitudes of poor Children have been brought to a sense of religious duty. What advantage this will prove to the rising generation, may be readily anticipated. The Committee were of great service in rearing and establishing some of these schools, by affording them elementary books at reduced prices. The Committee beg leave most particularly to lay this fact before the public, as a proof that the funds raised by public LIBERALITY have been, and will continue to be, carefully distributed for the public good. The number of Children in the Central School, always fluctuating, is nearly the same as it was in the last year; but there is room for more: and the Committee submit it to the public judgment, whether it will not be highly advantageous to convince the ignorant how much it is their duty to take advantage of such an establishment by sending their Children to profit by it, and to encourage one another in liberal subscriptions, for purposes so richly and so extensively beneficial. They have the pleasure of stating the following Subscriptions for the Current Year. By Order of the Committee, April 26, 1819. JOHN HEYSHAM, M. A. Secretary. Benefactions and Subscriptions will be received by the Treasurer at the Bank of Messrs. FORSTERS, and by the Secretary. ---------------------------- LIST OF SUBSCRIBERS FOR THE YEAR 1819. £ s. d| £ s. d | £ s. d Anderson, Rev. Edward 1 1 0 | Ferguson, Mess. J.

Saturday 01 May 1819 (p. 2, col. 6 - p. 3, col. 1) We last week fell into an error as to the nature of Mr. Robert ANDERSON's poems, about to be committed to the press. The contents of the two forthcoming volumes (see advertisement) will be entirely original, and of a more interesting nature to the general reader than the Cumberland Ballads, the merits of which can be appreciated by those only who are thoroughly acquainted with the manners and dialect of the Cumberland peasantry. The lovers of the ballad, however, will not be neglected in the new publication, as it will contain several original ones, not at all inferior to those which have already received the stamp of public approbation. We are glad to observe by an advertisement in the present paper, that Lister ELLIS, Esq. intends to introduce into Cumberland, the excellent system of draining with tiles which he alluded to in his speech at the Cattle Show Dinner last week. Such of our agricultural readers as have not seen this tile, will observe that a specimen is deposited at the Bush Inn, where, without doubt, they may readily obtain a sight of it. Alice, otherwise Isabella GRAHAM, who appeared as king's evidence against a soldier at the last Quarter Sessions, was committed to Carlisle gaol yesterday week, charged with stealing clothes from Margaret MOOR, of Fountain Head, in the parish of Dalston. An unfortunate accident happened at Belfast on the 17th ult. As Mr. George WILKINSON, master of the galliot Relief, belonging to Maryport, was going on board his vessel, then discharging coals, the plank gave way, and he fell betwixt the ship and the quay; in falling, his head struck against a stone, and he only survived the accident two hours. Mr. WILKINSON was an industrious man, and was highly respected. A fellow in seaman's clothes was apprehended on Saturday near Whitehaven, having been guilty of several swindling tricks at Parton, under pretence of being the servant of the Captain of an East Indiaman, who, he said, was about to remain at the Black Lion, Whitehaven, four or six months. On Tuesday, he was examined before the Magistrates, and, we understand, he is to be sent to Liverpool. The Cuckoo was heard, on Wednesday, near Whitehaven. A respectable young woman, a servant in York, has recently had a legacy of Ten Thousand Pounds left her, a by a deceased relation. The Union Coach from Newcastle to Edinburgh, broke down on Barras Bridge, on Saturday last, by which Mr. FENWICK, of Blacket Street, and Mr. B. THEW, also of that town, had each a leg broken. The axle tree snapped in two. Several other passengers escaped unhurt.

PETTY SESSIONS. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15. (Before J. JAMESON, Esq., W. HARRISON, Esq., HON. A. ERSKINE, J. THOMPSON, Esq., W. PRITT, Esq., and GENERAL BROUGHAM.) A CAUTION TO JUVENILES. – A little fellow named JOHN BELL, residing in Duke—street, appeared to answer a charge preferred against him by MR. C. FAIRER, Clerk to the Penrith Local Board of Health, for throwing stones from a catapult in Middlegate, on the 4th inst., to the danger of passengers. – The boy pleaded guilty, and was fined 1s and costs, or seven days’ imprisonment, the Bench intimating that if any similar case came before them again, they would deal very severely with it, for they were determined to put a stop to these wicked and dangerous practices. A SON USING A DANGEROUS THREAT TO HIS FATHER. – JAMES DOYLE, the elder, clerk to an accountant, appeared to prefer a charge against his son, JAMES DOYLE, the younger, for having on Friday, the 11th of September threatened to mark him and disable him for many months to come, and from the above and other threats, he (complainant) was afraid that defendant would do him some bodily injury, and therefore prayed that he be ordered to find sureties to keep the peace and be of good behaviour. Defendant, when called, did not appear, and complainant said he had no idea where he was to be found. He was now twenty-three years of age, and did not reside with his parents, and was a most dissolute, drunken character, sleeping in outhouses and places of that description. The Bench said they could do nothing unless defendant was present, and told complainant to at once apply for a warrant as soon as defendant’s whereabouts was ascertained. STEALING CUCUMBERS AND ASSAULTING THE POLICE. - HENRY SMITH, a robust and resolute-looking young navvie, was brought up in custody, charged with stealing five cucumbers, of the value of 2s. 6d., the property of MR. JAMESON, of Nord Vue, Armathwaite. ISABELLA JAMES, housekeeper to MR. JAMESON, said a little after ten o’clock on Monday morning last, she saw the prisoner and another man in her master’s garden, and apparently interfering with the cucumber frames. She went towards the men, and perceiving some cucumbers protruding from prisoner’s pocket, she endeavoured to take them from him. He resisted, and on her charging him with robbing her master’s garden, prisoner gave no denial, but said he had several cucumbers in his pocket. – He then began to use most insulting language, and being afraid he would do her some harm, witness ran away, and on being followed, she called loudly for assistance. P.C. JOS. BELL, who happened to be in the neighbourhood at the time, and hearing cries of “Murder”, in a woman’s voice, ran at once to the spot, and saw the two men about a hundred yards off, running down a corn field. On learning what had transpired, he gave chase, and succeeded in coming up with the prisoner. Seeing some cucumbers ticking out of his pocket, the officer said “What have you got here ?” at the same time endeavouring to secure the vegetables. The prisoner made use of a profane expression, and immediately commenced a violent attack upon the officer, striking out with both his fists, and severely abused the officer, whose upper lip was cut through. So violent did the prisoner eventually become that BELL was compelled in self-defence to use his stick, which he brought with considerable force in contact with prisoner’s forehead. The latter then threw himself upon the ground, and drawing a clasp-knife from his pocket, said to the policeman, “ You________, if you touch me I will let your b____y guts out.” The officer, notwithstanding, closed with him, secured the knife, and took prisoner into custody. He, however, refused to walk, and had to be taken to the lock-up on Hesket in a cart. While the struggle was going on with prisoner, the other man decamped. The Bench, for the theft, sent the prisoner to Carlisle Gaol for a month with hard labour, and for the assault upon the policeman, to three months’ imprisonment with hard labour. SELLING DRINK DURING PROHIBITED HOURS. – CHRISTOPHER PEARS, landlord of the Blue Bell Inn, Penrith, was charged by the police with permitting drinking upon his licensed premises during prohibited hours, on Sunday the 6th of September. INSPECTOR BERTRAM stated that he visited the house about half past four o’clock and found two men sitting in the kitchen with three glasses of ale before them. One of the men admitted he had paid for the ale. The police had had great trouble with the house, and constables had been stationed in the yard in plain clothes to watch the premises, but as no suitable place could be found, they had not been able to detect any breach of the law. - Defendant admitted the offence. – Two previous convictions were recorded against the defendant. The Bench, after informing the defendant he had rendered himself liable to a penalty of £20, imposed a fine of 40s., and 9 s. 6d. costs. ====================================================================== barb, ontario, canada.

PETTY SESSIONS. PENRITH – Monday, September 14, 1874. (Before W. HARRISON, Esq., and J. THOMPSON, Esq.) A VIOLENT FELLOW – GEORGE CLEMENTSON, labourer, residing at the Townhead, was brought up in custody charged with assaulting PC. HIGH an damaging his uniform. – From the statement of the police-constable, it appeared that shortly after twelve o’clock on Saturday night, he heard a great disturbance in the neighbourhood of defendant’s residence, and proceeding thither found MRS. CLEMENTSON outside, who said her husband was in a wild state from the effects of drink, and she wished him taken into custody. The defendant, who was raving about the house like a maniac, on hearing that a policeman was present, seized hold of the poker, and rushing out of the house struck HIGH a violent blow on the helmet and slightly grazed his cheek. The officer immediately closed with his assailant, and a violent struggle ensued, in which defendant’s brother and wife endeavoured to effect a rescue. The officer’s cape was pulled over his head and torn, and though nearly strangled, he managed to handcuff the prisoner and convey him to the police station. The prisoner was sent to prison for a month with hard labour for the assault, and was ordered to undergo an additional fortnight’s incarceration for the damage done to the policeman’s uniform. ================================================================= barb, ontario, canada.

PETTY SESSIONS. SHAP – Monday, Sept. 14. (Before REV. G. F. WESTON, REV. S. WHITESIDE, and REV. J. S. SISSON) USING A CART WITHOUT THE NAME BEING PAINTED THEREON - JAMES PRINGLE, pipe-maker, of Carlisle, appeared to answer a charge under the Highway Act, for allowing his horse and cart to be used without having his name painted upon the latter. JOSEPH JEFFRY, servant to the EARL OF LONSDALE, said on the 28th of August he was riding on the Melkinthorpe road with his lordship, and saw a man drunk in charge of a horse and cart. Three men started him upon his journey; but he did not proceed far before he fell back over the wheel of the conveyance. The horse and cart proceeded onward, and the man got up and followed; but he was so drunk that he fell upon the road, On examining the cart he found a few chalk marks, but no name, and the man in charge of it was so drunk that he could give no information as to his own name or the owner of the vehicle. Fined 1s. and costs – in all 16s. 2d. ================================================================== barb,ontario, canada.

Saturday 24 Apr 1819 (p. 3, col. 3-4) DUMFRIES, APRIL 20.—In the Jury Court here, on Tuesday last, an action was brought by Mr. M'LEAN, of Mark, against the Reverend Mr. SIBBALD, Minister of Kirkmabreck, for causing to be inserted in the session-book of that parish a writing, purporting to be a minute of that kirk-session, in which Mr. M'LEAN was accused of unmanly and unchristian conduct, and of making an unchristian attack upon Mr. SIBBALD respecting his doctrine as a minister, and for circulating the same.—The damages were laid at £100.—Mr. COCKBURN was leading counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. JEFFREY for the defendant. These gentlemen displayed much eloquence in their addresses to the Jury. Lord Pitmilly, in summing up, reprobated actions of this kind, and, for the sake of both parties, he wished the present had not been brought before the Court. The Jury, after very little deliberation, gave a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 1 s.—As soon as this cause had been decided, a counter action, SIBBALD v. M'LEAN, came on, in which it was alleged that Mr. M'LEAN had circulated through various parishes, that Mr. SIBBALD preached unsound doctrines &c. Damages laid at £2000.—The same Jury, without retiring from the box, found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 1s. and thus these gentlemen have equal advantages!—On the succeeding day, the Court proceeded to try the following issues, in the cause Robert SELKIRK, plaintiff, and Adam RANKINE, defendant, 1. Whether on the 28th day of October, 1814, or about that time, the defendant, when presiding as one of the Bailies of Dumfries, at the roup of the flesh-market dues of that burgh, did publicly declare, that the said town had been swindled out of their rents and dues for several years, or words to that effect; and whether he meant the words to apply to the incorporation of fleshers, or individual members thereof, to the injury and damage of the said plaintiff, he being a member of said incorporation?—2. Whether the defendant did say, that the said incorporation, or individuals thereof, were a set of swindling rascals, or words to that effect, &c.? A great number of witnesses had been cited by both parties; but, on a few being examined on the part of the plaintiff, it appeared that their evidence not only did not meet the main points meant to be established, but, in some respects, that these witnesses contradicted each other. The Judge, therefore, thought evidence on the part of the defendant, or a charge from the Court, unnecessary; and, without retiring, the Jury returned a verdict for the defendant.—In the Circuit Court, on Saturday, Isabella HALLIDAY, charged with child-murder was acquitted.*—Henry M'NISH, accused of having broke into the school at Clarencefield, and taken away several books, a quantity of paper, and 600 quills, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to 14 years' transportation.—John BROWN, accused of sheep-stealing, was found guilty, and sentenced to transportation for 14 years.—James BROWN, accused of theft, was found guilty, and sentenced to transportation for seven years.—Margaret KERR (formerly of Carlisle) was found guilty of stealing seven yards of sarsenet, &c. from the shop of Mr. MONTGOMERY, draper: 12 months' imprisonment.—Helen KERR, accused of theft, was outlawed for not appearing.—Peter M'KINLEY, and William DONALD, charged with entering the house of David CULLAN, at Limecleuchfoot of Airdoch, on the night of the 23rd of October last, and stealing thereout money and various articles of wearing apparel, were found guilty, but the jury recommended them to mercy: they were sentenced to be hanged at Dumfries on the 19th of May.—On Monday, Samuel FERGUSON was found guilty of stealing 8 pieces of gingham, 21 pairs of stockings, &c. from the cart of John FINGLAND, of Thornhill, carrier, on the night of the 23rd of January last—14 years transportation: Mary BUNTON, for receiving the same, 7 years' transportation.—John KILLAN alias KELLY, was found guilty of various acts of assault and highway robbery in the neighbourhood of Gatehouse in February last (as detailed in our paper at that time), and was sentenced to be executed at Dumfries on the 26th of May. John STOTT, and Arthur M'KEAND, concerned in the same robberies, not appearing, were outlawed.—James HAY, convicted of theft, 18 months' imprisonment. * This prisoner was eighty years of age, and her case excited much interest. It appeared in evidence, that the prisoner was supported entirely by private charity, in a small hut in the parish of Borgue, and for years was unable to get out of bed without assistance. For six years past, a young woman, named WILSON, had resorted to the hut, and had been very industrious in levying charitable contributions for her own and the old woman's support; and as the prisoner could not do any thing for herself, the neighbours humanely afforded subsistence to both, and even gave WILSON credit for her attention. Towards the end of the year 1818, WILSON appeared to many persons to be in a state of pregnancy; but, when challenged, she uniformly denied being in that situation: observing a change in her appearance, several persons asked her what had become of her child—to some she answered, it would never trouble any person, but did not deny having been delivered. WILSON, being apprehended and carried to Kirkcudbright, in her examination before the Steward Depute, on the 11th of February last, admitted, that she had brought forth a child; and declared, that the prisoner, on hearing the child cry, asked for it, and immediately plunged the infant into a bucket of water, that stood at the bed to catch rain-water that came in through the roof of the hut; and she further declared, that she and the prisoner afterwards burned the child to ashes; and WILSON, being called as a witness in the trial, gave evidence to nearly the same effect before the Court. The prisoner being also carried before the Steward Substitute, declared, that she and WILSON were sleeping in one bed; that one night WILSON appeared very restless and uneasy for some time, and afterwards she, prisoner, heard a cry, and asking WILSON what it was, WILSON answered, a child; that WILSON handed the Infant to her, and she put it into the bucket, and thereafter WILSON made a fire and burnt the child to ashes. The almost universal opinion of the crowded Court was, that from WILSON having uniformly concealed, and even denied her situation, and not having made any provision for her delivery, she evidently had all along been determined in the destruction of the infant; and that the prisoner, if she really did put the infant into the bucket, must have acted under the influence, or perhaps direction of WILSON, who, if inclined, could easily have resisted the utmost exertions of the prisoner, whose haggard shrivelled appearance, when brought into Court, and while at the bar, bespoke utter inability to put a spoon to her mouth, or to judge of any thing. The Jury returned a verdict of not proven, and consequently the prisoner was acquitted. She died in Dumfries gaol on Wednesday afternoon, and was buried in the strangers' burying ground belonging to the Burgh, on Thursday. Four vessels have sailed since our last, from Dumfries for British America, with 581 passengers and various kinds of goods. They are mostly all of the lower orders of society, either connected with agriculture or labourers, and some of them paupers from the North of England, for whom the overseers of the parish pay the passage. On Sunday se'nnight, William M'KELVIE, aged 24 years, one of the passengers in the Thompsons' Packet for America, was unfortunately drowned on the Sands near the Airds Banks. He had crossed at Glencaple Quay, along with two others, to join the ship, which had gone down to the Burran Point, but complaining of being very tired, he sat down to rest himself, and, in that situation, is supposed to have fallen asleep, as he was surrounded by the tide, and two jars, which he had been carrying, were found beside him. He was from the parish of Wigtown, Galloway, and had a wife and child, with other relations, on board the vessel at the time, who have since sailed for America. Wednesday week, while four children (three girls and a boy) were gathering mussels on Newby Scarr, near Annan, they were surrounded by the tide, and would inevitably have perished but for the timely assistance of Mr. William SCOTT, of the Cottages, who happened to be passing along the beach. Seeing their perilous situation, with a feeling activity which did him honour, he rushed through the waves, and happily succeeded in recovering the three girls; but his exertions were frustrated in his attempt to save the boy, who unfortunately perished: he was 12 years of age, and one out of ten of the children of a poor widow who lives at Nethermain Limekilns, near Annan. A murder was committed on the night of Monday se'nnight about two miles from Moffat. Three men passed through Elvanfoot, towards Moffat, between 8 and 9 o'clock, and next morning one of them was found murdered, lying in a water cut, a few yards distant from the road. The supposed murderers speak the Irish dialect and appear to be brothers.

NEWS ITEMS. ACCIDENT ON THE COCKERMOUTH KESWICK AND PENRITH RAILWAY. On Monday, while a coke train was travelling on the railway between Keswick and Cockermouth, an axle of one of the waggons broke. As the line is only single, the accident caused a considerable delay in the traffic. FATAL FALL FROM A HORSE. – On Tuesday night, an inquest was held at the White Hart Inn, Hexham, touching the death of a boy, named THOMAS JUST, who died on Monday evening, from injuries received by a fall from a horse. Deceased and another boy, the one eight and the other ten years of age, were put upon a horse, and the animal beginning to trot, deceased tumbled off, and was killed almost instantaneously. The jury returned a verdict of “Killed from a fall off a horse”. RAYSON HALL ESTATE. – This valuable estate, late the property of MR. RAE, was submitted to public competition at the George Hotel, Penrith on Tuesday afternoon last. MR. CHAPPLOW, of Bradley, was the auctioneer. The whole extent of land amounted to 272a. 3r. 22p. MR. HEWITSON, of Knotts, Ainstable, commenced the bidding with an offer of £7,000, and this sum was speedily increased by £100 by MR. WAUGH, solicitor, of Cockermouth. Another £100 was offered by MAJOR HARRISON, of Penrith; MR. WAUGH at once jumped up to $7,500, and MAJOR HARRISON having increased the amount to $7,600, the biddings ceased. After a short interval, the reserve price was announced to be $9,500. Beyond this sum no response could be elicited and the property was withdrawn. It was, however, announced by MESSRS. HARRISON and LITTLE, the solicitors for the vendors, that they were prepared to treaty for the sale of the estate privately. EXTINCTION OF THE DEBT UPON THE NEW WESLEYAN CHAPEL, PENRITH. On Sunday last, two practical and impressive sermons were preached in the new Wesleyan Chapel to large congregations by the REV. J. BEDFORD, of Manchester, in aid of the circuit funds. On Monday night, a largely-attended public meeting was held to celebrate the extinction of the debt on the new chapel, and for the reading of the financial statement. The REV. D. PEARSON presided, and was accompanied upon the platform by the REV. J. BEDFORD; REV. JOSHUA MASON, chairman of the district; REV. T. D. ANDERSON; REV. J. TANNAHILL; MR. J. CRONE, MR. J. PATTINSON, and MR. W. BELL. The meeting having been opened with praise and prayer, the Chairman, in an eloquent and earnest address, congratulated the congregation upon having their beautiful sanctuary free from debt, and said that having in the past acted so nobly, let all pray and labour that many might be born to righteousness and truth within that house of the Lord. The meeting having been addressed by the REV. J. MASON, MR. W. BELL read the financial statement, from which it appeared that the total cost of the building and appurtenances was £7,254 4s. 0-1/2d., every farthing of which had been liquidated, and the chapel is now entirely free of financial encumbrance. In a few days the detailed balance sheet will be in the hands of the subscribers. The REV. J. BEDFORD addressed the meeting at some length, and was followed by the REV. J. TANNAHILL. Votes of thanks were then passed to MR. CRONE (the treasurer), MR. BELL (the secretary), the REV. J. BEDFORD, and the Chairman, and the benediction having been pronounced, the meeting terminated. =========================================================== barb, ontario, canada.
